WASHINGTON—Nine senators, including seven Republicans, one Democrat, and Maine independent Sen. Angus King, aren’t satisfied that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) understands and is adequately prepared to respond aggressively to the threat represented by Huawei to U.S. energy infrastructure.
“We write today to get assurances from you that [FERC] fully appreciates the threat posed to the nation’s energy infrastructure by the use of equipment manufactured by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei),” the senators told commission Chairman Neil Chatterjee in a Dec. 4 letter mailed on Dec. 6.
